A magnificent green patina bronze by Frédéric Focht, celebrating the legendary figure of Jean Mermoz, one of France's greatest aviators. This striking sculpture captures the heroic, dynamic essence of Mermoz, symbolizing his courage and spirit of exploration. This moving creation conveys the determination and passion of Jean Mermoz, hair in the wind, a true icon of aeronautical history. Resting on a black marble base, this work of art is much more than a simple decorative object. It embodies the history and heritage of an era, perfect for art collectors or aviation and history enthusiasts.
Frédéric C. Focht (1879-1937) was born in Paris in 1879 and studied under the famous sculptor Falguière. His remarkable talent was recognized early in his career, exhibiting at the Salon des Artistes Français and winning the coveted Medal of Honor in 1900 at the age of 21. An important figure in the Art Deco movement, this artist, who was also an operatic tenor, died in 1937.
Jean Mermoz, born in Aubenton on December 9, 1901 and died in the Atlantic Ocean on December 7, 1936, was a French aviator and legendary figure of l'Aéropostale, nicknamed l'Archange.
